Talented kids, and Bus has brought them a long way, one thing that never should have happened, though.
In their last outing, the heavyweight with "Golden Gloves Experience" was out-boxed then knocked out by a grappler.
No mystery.
Ruttan's kid didn't throw one jab. In fact, the grappler actually out-jabbed him. Most amazing thing I ever saw, a boxer being out-boxed by a grappler who can't box.
Every time the grappler charged Ruttan's kid, the kid just backed up into the ropes. No slipping punches, no stepping to the right, no bobbing and weaving, he just let the grappler back him up into the ropes.
Worse still, Ruttan's kid was taller and had much longer arms. He could have jabbed the grappler's head off. That would have stopped the charges, but Ruttan's kid just refused to throw any jabs.
Ok, maybe he never learned how to jab. Why then didn't he simply set and throw a straight right when the grappler came charging in. That would have stopped him cold.
Better yet, why didn't he just step to the right and blast him with a hook?
I just don't understand.
